She went on to complete her PhD in Entomology with a focus on mosquito biology and public health from the University of Massachusetts and she completed her postdoctoral training at the University of California at Davis. Professor Harrington’s research focuses on the biology, ecology and behavior of mosquitoes that transmit human diseases. Her current projects address feeding and mating behavior of the mosquito vectors of dengue, Zika and chikungunya viruses.
